Section – C
(Section C-Question No 12 is case-based question carrying 5 marks.)

Question 12.
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
Number of molecules which must collide simultaneously to give product is called molecularity. It is equal to sum of coefficient of reactants present in stoichiometic chemical equation.
For reaction, m1A + m2B → product
Molecularity = [m1 + m2]
In complex reaction each step has it own molecuiarity which is equal to the sum of coefficients of reactants present in a particular step. Molecuiarity is a theoretical property. Its value is any whole number. Number of concentration terms on which rate of reaction depends is called order of reaction or sum of powers of concentration terms present in the rate equation is called order of reaction.

If rate equation of reation is:
Rate = k × CAm1. CBm2
Then order of reaction = m1 + m2
In simple reaction, order and molecuiarity are same.
In complex reaction, order of slowest step is the order of over all reaction. This step is known as rate determining step. Order is an experimental property. Its value may be zero, fractional or negative.
(A) Write two differences between order and molecuiarity of a reaction?
(B) What will be the molecuiarity of the following reaction?
6FeSO4 + 3H2S04 + KClO3 → KCl + 3Fe2(S03)2 + 3H2O
(C) The rate of reaction, A + 2B -> products, is given by – d[A] / dt = k[A] [B]2. If B is present in large excess, what will be the order the reaction?
(D) The rate of a certain reaction is given by , rate = k [H+]n. The rate increases 100 times when the pH changes from 3 to 1. What will be the order (n) of the reaction?
OR
In a chemical reaction A + 2B → products, when concentration of A is doubled, rate of the reaction becomes 4 times and concentration of B alone is doubled rate continues to be the same. What will be the order of the reaction? (5)
